Facelift (Rhytidectomy)
 


Facelift surgery rejuvenates and improves facial contours and overall appearance through the tightening of facial tissue and muscles and the repositioning of skin. This helps remove wrinkles and droopiness from the eyes, face and neck, creating a more defined facial structure and overall rejuvenated appearance.  Anyone pursuing facelift surgery should have realistic expecations for surgery.  Contrary to what is commonly thought, a facelift will not improve or get rid of the wrinkles on the forehead, the eyelids themselves, or the wrinkles around the mouth.    Most often, a facelift is combined with laser skin resurfacing to improve the skin's tone and texture, along with blepharoplasty to get rid of excess skin and fat under the eyes and on the eyelids.

Facial Implants
Facial implants enhance facial features to create better facial proportions or more attractive definition.  Facial implants may be specialized for the cheeks, chin, jaw, or lips.

Mini Face Lift
The mini lift is often performed on problem areas and is most suitable for younger patients who would like a refresher, but do not require more invasive surgery.  It is especially popular for targeting the nasolabial folds, or the sagging skin around your frown lines.
